I saw a This Is Spinal Tap gif on social media last week and realized I had never seen it and I've since added it to my movie que.

Here's a gift link to a New York Times piece ranking the 100 best movies since 2000 that I really enjoyed. I added several movies to my movie que that I'm too embarrassed to share. It shared movies I've surprisingly never seen, movies I've forgot about and am reconsidering and several I don't even recall. Another cool feature about it is that they surveyed 500 actors to come up with the list so you can see Mel Brooks favorite movies and so on.

Have you guys tried the pizza spot at Linwood and Gilham?  You, weirdly, have to buy a membership, but the pizza is pretty darn good.

Are you allowed to smoke indoors? That's why a lot of places do memberships. I bet that's it.

I've never tried it but i don't think so.  Which is weird because they also sell ciggies there.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer - I have no idea how to rate this one. waks made me watch it. It seems to take place in the same universe as The Lobster, but it couldn't unless Collin Farrell plays a different character in that universe. If the Coen Brothers make dark comedy, this was midnight-in-the-back-of-the-cave dark comedy.

Casablanca - 6/7 - Second time watching it. My goodness there is a lot of dialogue and they talk way faster than I thought they did back then!

The Thing - 5.5/7 - Second time watching it. I usually hate when movies show the monsters for too long. Alien Resurrection and Romulous are guilty of this, in my opinion. But I didn't mind it with The Thing.

This Is Spinal Tap - 5/7 - Not as funny as I remembered, but there are still 3 scenes that are all time scenes so I'm glad I did a rewatch.

That's now how I got it.

MIR: Another #blueanongE who doesn't understand the scope and reach of the WORLD WIDE WEB

Viewers will note this lashing out is mainly driven out of embarrassment on the part of #blueanon who melts down about anyone who asserts that they're a practicing Judeo-Christian (insert denomination or sect here) . . . but they'll line up hard for a practicing Muslim (as long as they're a Democrat and saying all the socialist things #blueanongE wants to hear)

Never mind that the vast majority of democrats in congress hold Judeo-Christian beliefs.

They claim to.

Republicans too

I don't think this is trump.  I think this is Stephen Miller and that Trump just simply doesn't care about this, so he lets Miller run.

He might not care as much as Stephen does, but he absolutely cares about treating poor people as shitty as possible.
